Friday, January 30th, 2009Pro Bono work for the Investigator -
How many other investigators do you know who do pro-bono work? Since working in the legal profession for more than 20 years I have come across attorneys all the time, from all different specialties doing pro-bono work. It made me wonder how I could do the same. One day it came to me, It came in the form of an unexpected case.
A woman contacted me who wanted to reconnect with her birth parents, we had our first consultation. After that consultation I knew this woman did not know where to start looking, nor did she have the resources to pay me for my time so how was I going to help her? The next day a local columnist in the Oregonian talked about the topic of private investigators who do pro-bono work. At that moment I knew this is how I can give back for the blessings I have had in my business. Currently, I have two pro- bono cases. I can not afford more than two at this time but my goal is one pro-bono case per year. I will know the right case when it comes in the door.
It feels good to give back so ask yourself what are you doing to give back for your blessing!
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009Be a Free Thinker- By Mr. Sting
I think on a day like today, Mr. Sting's post yesterday is worth repeating on my blog:
Today is Martin Luther King Day. Tomorrow we inaugurate a new president. This is a new world.
Doesn't matter if you like the changes, or if you don't. Fact is they are here. You can learn to adapt, or not.
I don't know what color you are, and I don't care. I don't know what religion you are, and I don't care. I don't know what country you was born in, and I don't care. I don't know what political party you belong to, and I don't care. All I care about is the person you are, and the person you strive to be.
Were ever you come from, is not what matters. What matters is who you are, and where you are going. Be a free thinker. Think for yourself. Question everything. Learn something every day. Learn from yourself, learn from others, learn from books. Then take what you learn, and think about it. Does it make sense? If not, make sense of it. Think for yourself.
Learn to think for your self. Be a better person. Be a better friend. This world is changing. Change with it. Change for the better.
We are all in this world together. Let's behave like it.
My All Time Favorite Quote -
The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
